She called me to come get them around midnight last night and I had them until after 6:00 tonight. I thought maybe the husband or a relative could have retrieved them sooner since I got them dumped on me out of the blue because she saw my lights were on when her water broke. The house keys would have been helpful as well since she left two diapers for the two year old.:rolleyes: But we went to the store and bought some.

I have to say you're a better woman than I am, Carver.
:yes:
 
So today is the one year anniversary of my last day at my old job. I posted something on Facebook about it and the journey that I kind of took to get where I am at this point this year. Bunch of people posting on there how amazing I am. A guy can get used to that.

My husband claims to be a leg man. He must be a dying breed, its all boobs and butts on CF.

My elbows are registered as lethal weapons in three states they're so pointy.

Truth!

Oh! Kids and booster seats. Yeah, height and weight are a big factor. At four, I could ride the looping roller coaster at Marriott's Great America. By six, the next time I remember going, I was too tall for the "kids-themed" section. No ball pit for me. :sad: I think it was at Silver Dollar City in the Ozarks where the kids section was by age, not height. I was 10 or 11, and I remember being so thrilled I could go in the ball pit.

Thanks for the support guys. My husband told me I was a "gullible doormat" for putting up with the situation. One of my kids rolled his eyes at me when I had to take the toddlers to his school sporting event that is usually very quiet. And I will be a in big trouble if they ever dump all three kids on me at once; I had a hard enough time calling Lila and Leah the wrong names, so they went and named the baby Liam.:rolleyes:
 
Everything went great last night! In a related note I suggest checking our Mary Poppins at Theatre Cedar Rapids this month.

Considering you were watching the kids, I'd disagree with this statement...I mean, I know what he's getting at, and you were put in a bad spot...but I think what you did was commendable. Not for supporting the parents, as they both seem to be jackwagons, but for supporting the kids and making life seem a little more normal on what was probably a super unsettling twist on top of an already life changing event.

Now, would I say you would be justified in having an appropriate talk with both of them about the situation, but to me, the fact that it was an acute need (short term, immediate, urgent), you help the kids if you can...if it had been a chronic (ongoing, lower level) one, then you say no. Hubby has a point, but to me, in that situation, you say yes, and then follow up after with a discussion.

Meh, my art deco toaster is older than that.

My 1948 Toastmaster Model 1B14. When I went off to ISU it was considered "old" so my mom sent it with me. This art deco bad boy has been front row in my kitchen ever since than. Can you say built to last?

It's been a bit of a curiosity all of these years but now mid-century and art deco are hot items and it's so old it's cool again. I am waiting for that to happen to me but I think it might not apply to people. BTW, they made 6 million of these so CG can go on eBay and grab one for her new digs.

That...is a bad day.

"Hey hon, how was your paddle?"

"Oh, it was great, except for the 'getting ran over by an LCAC' part"

"But he swam back to the craft and made his way to a friend back at the state park, rather than accepting a ride from the LCAC operators, who had offered to take him back to their base."

Even after LCAC made roadkill (baykill?) outta me, I still would've accepted a ride on it. Those things are badass
 
My youth has now been completely destroyed. Ozzy Osborne is going to ba a 'special guest star' on Bubble Guppies. I'll just be over here in the corner whimpering.
